AT THE MOVIES Speeding It On AT THE ARCADE. "Green Stockings," the latest Blue Ribbon Feature to be released by the Vitag-iaph Company of America main tains the high standard of excellence set by this class of film classics. It numbers in its cast the greatest col lection of motion picture stars ever seen in a single production. The play is a comedy of English life, intro ducing many' humorous characters, which the director has filmed in a manner that called for originality, in terest, action, scenic and costume ac curacy. Opening with scenes in the home life of an elder daughter who is forced to wear "green stockings" at the marriage of her younger sister. She rebels at this and desiring to re move the stigma of being an "old maid;" which, has been put upon her, she announces her engagement to a Colonel Smith who, she ar; is sta tioned at a British araiy posTln South Africa. The family is most delighted and much ado is made over flier. She takes every advantage of her new position in the household and instead of wait ing on others and remaining shyly in the background, she becomes the center of attraction and is much sought after by marriageable young men. She tukes into her confidence her aunt who helps her in .the decen tion. Her plans succeed nicely and were tt not Tor the fact that several love letters, written by her to tho imaginary finance found their way into the post and eventually to a real Colonel Smith, in South Africa, all would have 'been well. After a cer tain number of months, she causes to be inserted in the daily paper a death notice of her supposed finance and suffers the condolences of her family, who can't do enough for her. The real Colonel Smith, in the meantime, comes to England and curious to see tho writer of these fascinating and mysterious love let ters, calls at her house. Ho learns by accident that (his own death notice appears in tho paper and seeing through the ruse of tho girl, he at tempts to tease her. He announces himself as an intimate friend of Col onel Smith who was witftfl him in his dying moments. The girl and her aunt are puzzled and amazed and alarmed. Colonel Smith meets the girl and gives her what he describes as .tokens of remembrance from her dead lover. The girl does not under stand what it all means and becomes panic stricken for fear her deception might be found out and her family learn of it. She and her aunt pre pare to go away but the plan is frus trated by the aunt who takes an over-dose of brandy. The girl is finally forced to confess and the climax of the comedy is reached in the real betrothal of the two. The story of "Green Stockings," is replete with humorous and appeal ing situations, well portrayed by the capable Vitagraph cast of actresses. It is a comedy of exceptional qual ity and its subtle humor makes it one of the best comedies that has yet been filmed. It is doubly attractive in its enactment because the leading characters are portrayed by such dis tinguished players as Lillian Wpllor, IiOuise Beaudot, Frank Currier, Adele DeGurde, Lilian Bums, Charles Wel lesly, Denton Vane, JoWn T. Kel'.y and Charles Brown. The musketry instructor had . just Deen giving a lesson on the rifle to a particularly "green" set of recruits. At the end he asked: "Now is there any question you want to ask?" One dull looking Johnny Raw stept forward, blushing awkwardly. "Yes, my man?" said the instruc tor, encouragingly. "Plaze, Sor," stammered the search er after knowledge, "is it roight that the harder Oi pull the trigger-thing the f aider the bullet goes?"

I suffered such great pain that the doctor had to take my urine. After the doctor had treated me for two weeks, I did not get any better. Remembering that a few doses of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root completely re lieved my Mother-in-law, laflter all the doctors who were called in her case had failed to do her anv pood. ll asked my husbnnd to get me a bot tle or bwamp-Root, which he did. j and I took it and threw the doctors' preparations away, because immedi ately after I started taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root I was greatly j relieved. My husband was so pleas ed Ihe said I should take one dozen bottles of Swamp-Root, but by the time I had taken seven bottles I was completely restored to health.
